This means that a tense scene should open with a perspective that only slowly pans toward a reveal of a scene. That statuses should come with graphic descriptions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">the game system is built around degeneration spiral. You gain statuses and slowly become weaker. Be careful about not overdoing it.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">if something is vague, wait for a player to define it and then go with it.</li> </ul></blockquote>
